Jill has added another state: "Twist my arm, twist my arm...okay, another idea from my blog. The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks for his beautiful NC imagery, nature and ecology."In 1932, two North Carolina teenagers from opposite sides of the tracks fall in love. After spending one idyllic summer together in the small town of New Bern, Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson do not meet again for 14 years. Noah has returned from WW2 to restore the house of his dreams, having inherited a large sum of money. Allie, programmed by family and the "caste system of the South" to marry an ambitious, prosperous man, has become engaged to powerful attorney Lon Hammond. When she reads a newspaper story about Noah's restoration project, she shows up on his porch step, re-entering his life for two days. Will Allie leave Lon for Noah?

Hi, Bonnie: I just finished my official NC book for this challenge: On Agate Hill by Lee Smith (review). It was a wonderful look into North Carolina's history from the plantation life after the Civil War and mountain life around the turn of the century.
Thanks!
Jill
